Someone on the Marx group posted this a number of years ago;
| 333 | TBD | Close to Hudson J3A 4-6-4, Actually a Pacific(?) | Alco | NYC | 1937-? | Valve gear wrong, tender should have 6-wheel trucks. |

A recessed Elesco feedwater heater tank atop the smokebox, Walschaert valve gear, and NEW YORK CENTRAL lettering on a small tender remind me of the first NYC J-1a Hudson, No. 5200. B&A Hudsons had small tenders, too.
The genius of Marx is that realistic details are compressed into delightful little trains, as mentioned in the Marx? topic here.
Marx is like Timex, or the pink bunny.
